Chapter 752 Time begins to speed up (5600 words)
[Chapter head serialization·The Third Woman's Country 4·"I don't want to do anything, I just stop to resupply"]
[Pirates have brought a warship? How weird! The villagers were talking about it. The short old woman mentioned the name of the former Shichibukai Laut Heina, but Heina waved her hand and said she would not mention the past anymore. Lasha, who has the Door-Door Fruit, stayed to guard the ship, and Heina took the other three women and calmly entered the island under the watch of the crowd...]——
In the brightly lit living room, Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp were chasing and playing, grabbing pillows and sofa cushions and throwing them like snowballs, accidentally disturbing Nami who was reading, and each of them gave her some electric therapy.
"Why... I'm the only one..." Usopp was shaking from the electric shock and fell to the ground with smoke coming out of his mouth. "I'm most afraid of electricity..."
The rubber man Luffy and the furry Chopper next to them ran away with great relief.
Sanji was itching to make a bunch of drinks and snacks, and nimbly avoided the objects scattered on the ground. He put a cup in front of Usopp, who was smoking on the ground, and asked Zoro and Brook to take one to Franky in the library upstairs.
Merry couldn't drink, so she lay on Chopper's hairy belly, propped up her chin and watched him and Luffy drinking happily, and she couldn't help but smile with her eyes curved.
Sanji walked briskly with the tray of drinks in his hand, and was about to deliver it to Sister Robin, Lady Boa Hancock and the others, but Nami quickly grabbed him.
"There's no need for them. Let's go and deliver it to Aunt Tulip and Ayu." Nami took Sanji, who was confused, and left.
She was speechless. This guy always talked about women all the time, but in essence, he was still an innocent boy...
In the empty living room, the one-armed youth Xiangyun and Cavendish sat opposite each other, staring into each other's eyes without moving. Anne and Amorine, mother and daughter, were speechless. Are they competing to see who can blink first? How boring!
Nami and Sanji waved outside the door and brought the drinks over...
On another level, Ayu hugged Tulip's arm, sometimes complaining about being the queen, and sometimes talking about something with a smile. Tulip patted her hands and reminded her in a low voice.
Behind them, sisters Sanda and Mary, with their wet hair tied up, pulled Marianne to play cards and fight the snake demon.
"..." Marian was speechless. Aren't the three of you sisters all "snake demons"? Fighting yourselves?
At the door, Sanji's eyes were full of hearts, as if he was petrified. Nami sighed in annoyance. Sometimes, this guy is really embarrassing! "Hehehe..."
The clear laughter echoed in the castle...
On the lower floor, Lynch, who was leaning on the carpet beside the sofa, was kissing Robin, who was looking back in his arms. He had already crumpled up the newspaper and thrown it away somewhere.
Hancock joined in the fun by kissing her collarbone and licking his Adam's apple and jaw. Not long after, he was grabbed by Lynch's long hair, which was like a living thing, and dragged to the carpet. The three of them immediately rolled into a ball with laughter...
At a window on another floor, Rayleigh, shirtless, with his trouser legs rolled up and wearing slippers, sat by the window, raised his bottle of wine to salute the bright starry sky, and drank alone with a smile...
Layers of brightly lit rooms stretched out into the distance, and on the outermost was a figure in pitch-black armor sitting cross-legged like a ghost, with narrow eyes without light, and he was practicing silently with his eyes closed.
Above its head, there was a colorful energy cloud hanging like flowing water and cyclones, which was being transformed into pure gray energy bit by bit and was being absorbed and digested by it without stopping.
Its power, the power of its essence, is increasing every moment.
…
Where is the end? If I absorb all this energy, can I defeat Im?
At Lynch's level, conventional training and practice can no longer improve much.
The upper limit, or ceiling, is just that high.
Otherwise, the Pirate King Roger and Whitebeard who once dominated the world... those overlords of the sea should have been even stronger.
Normally speaking, at this stage of Lin Qi's, being able to maintain his peak and not let his strength decline is victory. The longer he can maintain his peak, the longer he can dominate the world.
But Lynch was able to use his superb life-returning ability, and took advantage of the five years of plundering in the big prison to accumulate a vast ocean of energy. Part of it was used to offset the consumption of the substitute when he returned ten years later, and the other large part was left as ammunition to enhance his own strength... This unconventional method forcibly opened a crack in the ceiling of strength that had already been touched.
Of course, Lynch could get away, take Robin and Hancock and travel the sea, capture some guys he doesn't like, and use them to accumulate endless energy and continuously strengthen himself...
But the reality is, there isn't much time left.
Lynch once joked that he had read the "book of prophecies", and in fact, that was pretty much what he meant.
In the final chapter of the comic, the "Child of Destiny" Straw Hat Boy will inevitably arrive at Raftel, the story will reach its climax, and fate will come to an end - or it may be the beginning of a new era.
All of this will only take a year or two.
This amount of time is already tight enough.
Lynch used the energy he plundered from the prison to digest, but after a rough estimate, he found that it was almost stuck. He could digest it in time no matter how hard he tried.
A strange feeling came over me. Is this a coincidence or fate?
I am the chosen one, and the only one!
More than 20 years ago, the Pirate King Roger, who was running out of time, must have had the same feeling countless times, right? ——"Everyone has his own moment of debut."
——"I will digest all this energy and then go and settle the score with that stinky woman Yimu."
Gol D. Roger, when you realized your moment of debut, was it the laughter in Raftel? Or... the shout to the world from the execution platform in Rogue Town? And I am now.
The blank history of eight hundred years ago, the corrupt world government, the changing navy, the actively running revolutionary army... Pluto's blueprint is in Franky's hands, and the Poseidon Mermaid Princess is about to awaken... The world is surging, but will eventually converge at one point... All the people and things on this sea seem to be met by fate, and countless destinies are intertwined to shape this ongoing history.
…
"Lin Qi, the result is now obvious..."
In a certain sea area in the New World, Red-Haired Shanks looked at the Chuiyun Waterfall in front of him and thought silently in his heart.
A scene from twenty years ago suddenly became extremely clear.
That was the first time he met Lynch. At that time, the boy was pitifully detained by Aokiji and was almost taken to the naval base to be trained as a marine.
It was clearly their first meeting, but the boy seemed to trust him very much and even told him about his own abilities without any concern.
That day, I couldn't help but think: "The captain said that the wave of the new era will really start in 20 years. By then, the whole world will be turned upside down, completing what the captain and his team failed to do...Lynch, will you be part of that wave?"
"Hey! Captain! We're about to land!"
At the bow, Lachi Lu, Jesus Bu and others waved and shouted.
"Here I come!" Shanks smiled, collected his thoughts, strode towards the island ahead, and thought to himself: "You must be the indispensable person in the wave of the new era, Lynch!"
～～～～～～～～～～ Lynch yawned and opened his eyes.
Hancock and Robin, who were lying on both sides of him, were like sleeping crabapples in spring, and the breath they exhaled from their nostrils gently brushed the skin of Lynch's chest.
The touch of a rough hand on her back woke Robin up. She didn't open her eyes, but raised the corners of her mouth and asked, "Are you going to get up?"
Lin Qi said: "Brother is the chief instructor, so you have to lead by example."
"If you want to lead by example, take your hand away first." Hancock is so beautiful even when rolling her eyes, it's amazing.
Robin buried his face in the pillow and laughed.
"There's no need to set such a good example!"
Lin Qi laughed loudly and was about to get out of bed, but a group of snakes danced behind him, and the charming Medusa pulled him back...
…
Robin and Hancock were the only ones left in the bedroom.
Robin gasped and complained, "Why did you provoke him?"
Hancock stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, too weak to answer her.
"By the way, I have something to tell you..." Robin leaned close to Hancock's ear and whispered. Hancock's beautiful, lifeless eyes gradually widened.
…
Just like a military training dormitory, after a hectic and fast-paced washing and dressing, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Ayu, Cavendish and others gathered on the open space of Ruskaina Island to start today's collective training.
Lynch was sitting on the slope, with Sanda and Mary, who were free today to sit in on the class, on his left and right. The three of them were eating melon together and watching the newly appointed deputy instructor, Reilly, testing the strength of the students from the Red Team, Green Team, and Dragon Team.
The Pirate King's right hand, Rayleigh, known as Hades, is indeed extraordinary. Luffy and his friends soon experienced this firsthand.
Zoro clenched his sword tightly. After being chopped down by Rayleigh for the umpteenth time, he felt under tremendous pressure, but also became more and more excited. What a powerful blow!
"Although he is indeed very powerful, he seems to be a little inferior to Brother Lin Qi." Some people, including Ah Yu, couldn't help but think, "No wonder he is the deputy instructor!"
"Hmm?" Rayleigh seemed to have noticed something. "Someone seems to be saying bad things about me? Let me see what you have learned this week!"
Pluto slashed at them with his sword, and Usopp and Chopper raised their hands and burst into tears, "It wasn't us!"
"Hahaha—hey wait a minute! It's not us either!"
Seeing the students getting along well with the deputy instructor, Lynch smiled.
Sanda and Mary asked Lynch about the practice of the wave fist, and took the opportunity to give her brother-in-law some special training. Not long after, Robin and Hancock appeared out of nowhere.
"What's wrong with my sister?" Mary wondered, "She seems a little angry..."
"Lynch, did you make your sister angry?" Sanda asked in a low voice.
"No?" Lynch said, carefully examining Hancock's evasive gaze and slightly red face, "Besides, she doesn't look angry!"
"Shut up!" Hancock turned around and yelled at him, unable to bear it anymore.
"This is not called being angry." Sanda muttered and shrank his neck.
Lynch explained: "Generally this is called anger out of shame..."
"Girono!" Hancock gritted her teeth.
"Hey, my name is Lin Qi." Lin Qi grinned, "Bye, I'm going to class."
He leaped into the crowd of people who were training hard, and together with the deputy instructor Rayleigh, he pointed out Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Otama, Marian and others who were practicing the Ripple Fist enthusiastically...
…
Once the rhythm of group training gets on track, time seems to speed up.
They practiced Ripple Fist together in the morning. At noon, the Nine Snakes Logistics Team brought carts of food and everyone ate a lot. In the afternoon, they either practiced in pairs or dispersed to practice on their own to digest the morning's practice experience.
The remaining three weeks of the first month are coming to an end unknowingly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There is a weekly collective training competition, including intra-team, group and individual competitions. Each competition is a summary of a week's training.
One week is one season, and in just four weeks, everyone has gone through all four seasons.
No matter it is spring with blooming flowers, bleak autumn nights, scorching summer heat or snowing heavily, everyone keeps practicing.
In such a group training atmosphere, where one can feel the rapid progress of his companions at every moment, even Usopp dares not slack off in the slightest. Even when he eats and sleeps, he sometimes mutters to himself the posture of the Ripple Fist.
Brook and Franky gradually shifted their focus, with the former concentrating on the development of hypnosis and the Yomiuri Fruit, while the latter eagerly absorbed the research materials of Dr. Vegapunk given by Lynch, and prepared for the future ability of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit - mainly preparing a list of materials, which he would either purchase in bulk or collect on his own later.
On the twentieth day, Nami awakened the color of armament.
The powerful "heart net" brought by the Thunder Fruit, which is the talent bonus of observation Haki, allows Nami to learn by analogy and learn armament Haki more easily than ordinary people.
After awakening her Armament Haki, Nami beat Luffy even more vigorously. If Luffy's mother Tulip wasn't there...
Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji's strength improved rapidly. Especially the first two, near the end of the month, Otama had been winning and losing, and the individual competition's slash points also changed from being the first to being unstable, and sometimes being overtaken by Luffy or Zoro.
In the eyes of Lynch, Rayleigh, Tulip and others, the strength of Luffy, Zoro and the others, especially the strength of their domineering power, has at least doubled compared to a month ago! In just one month, the high-intensity collective training and exchange, especially the Lily Wave Fist taught by Lynch, seemed to have integrated all their past accumulations, physical skills, domineering power, abilities... into one, and their strength was like adding fuel to the fire, rapidly improving. There is no doubt that this set of boxing is magical and powerful. Although Rayleigh, Tulip and others have not practiced it, they usually silently understand it in their hearts, and naturally have their own judgments on this.
After practicing this set of boxing, even Merry, the ship elf of Luffy and his friends who always follows Lynch around and calls him "Black Brother" and acts coquettishly, seems to have become more condensed.
On the last day of the first month of training, Usopp also successfully awakened his Armament Haki.
“…”
The praises from his companions faded away like a tide. Usopp was exhausted, panting, lying on the ground. He didn't even have the energy to smile. He just stared blankly at the white clouds in the sky, which seemed to gather into a fluttering pirate flag. I did it! Dad, did you see it? I will be stronger than you! ...
The first month of high-intensity training is about to end.
The reason why it was not said to be over is because Luffy, Zoro and others are gearing up and preparing for tomorrow.
A month ago, they rushed forward but were unable to snatch the tiny bell from Lynch's hands.
Now, a month later? Bang, bang, bang!
Luffy's fists were like a net, knocking a twenty-meter-tall beast flying.
At least not as embarrassed as a month ago! Zoro slashed with his sword, and Sanji, who was moon-stepping in mid-air, cursed, "Idiot! You almost cut me!"
"Haha, they are working very hard to defeat Lynch." Rayleigh, Tulip and the Nine Snakes' warriors watched this scene from afar. "It's the last day of the first month, and they still refuse to let up."
Tulip propped her chin up and smiled, "One month is probably not enough."
Rayleigh raised his head and drank the wine. "But even a little progress is also a kind of encouragement. Lynch came up with this training method, and the effect is really good!"
He shook his head. If he were to come, given his personality, he would probably still adopt the traditional one-on-one teaching style between master and disciple behind closed doors.
If he had to choose a disciple among these people, he would undoubtedly only choose Luffy.
Lynch, however, treated everyone equally. He did not give any preferential treatment to Luffy or Zoro. He taught everyone everything he knew. He was not afraid of many people learning, but was only afraid that you would not be able to learn.
"Where's Lynch?" Sanda looked around.
"I seemed to be with my sister just now," Mary whispered, "and they seemed to be arguing about something..."
Sanda sighed, "Sister seems to come here less often recently! Does she hate these people?"
"Maybe." Mary shook her head. In her opinion, it was already a miracle that her sister could tolerate these people from outside the sea - especially the men from outside the sea - for so long.
…
The reason Hancock didn't want to hang around other people recently was of course because of what Robin had said to her three weeks ago.
The Room in the library has been seen.
The proud Empress naturally doesn't care about the opinions of Nami, Usopp or Chopper.
But it was Robin who told her about this.
Standing within the sight of Nami, Usopp, and Chopper, Hancock always felt that Robin was also observing her while trying not to laugh...
"If I remember correctly, I created that book using the Castle Fruit. I can't take it out with me!"
Lin Qi only learned about this today, but he felt even more confused.
Robin pulled him aside, looking like he was trying to hold back a laugh.
Lynch turned his head to look to the other side. Hancock tilted her head, and a layer of pink appeared behind her ears and neck.
He immediately sighed: "You're a bit perverted, Xiaobo. You even rewrote a copy of this thing and kept it in your study? What's the point?"
“Shut up!”
Hancock turned back with blushing eyes, "I love it! What's it to you?"
Her two fangs became sharp in an instant and she bit Lynch's neck hard.
when.
Lynch's skin was as tough as iron, and Hancock had a toothache and was a little dazed.
"You were born in the Year of the Dog?" Lin Qi was speechless. "Be careful not to break your teeth—you actually used domineering power!?"
"Hahaha..." Robin laughed so hard that he was dragged over by Lynch and Hancock in the blink of an eye. "Don't even think about running away!"
…
In the end, Hancock couldn't bear to bite Robin, because she was not as thick-skinned as Lynch.
The sunlight shone through the window onto the large bed for three people. Hancock's thick and long eyelashes moved and she opened her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, she was startled. Lin Qi was sitting upright on the bed, staring at her with a frown.
"What are you doing?" Hancock looked at her body and touched her face. Apart from some residual marks that had not been washed, there was nothing unusual. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Robin lay on Lynch's back, looked over Lynch's shoulder, looked at Hancock, and asked, "Can you still use Medusa's ability?"
"What does this mean?"
Hancock suddenly sat up in confusion, and a layer of eye shadow instantly appeared around her eyes. Her pupils turned into dark golden vertical pupils, making her look more charming. Her long black hair turned into countless thin snakes, hissing and spitting out tongues.
Robin looked at Lynch in confusion.
"What's going on?" Hancock kicked Lynch angrily, "Tell me now!"
"It's better to do than to say."
Lynch stretched out his left hand toward the window, and soon with a whoosh, a huge left arm armor covered with blue flame patterns flew in from the window. After flying into the room, it shrank rapidly and was put onto Lynch's arm with a click.
Lynch wore the arm armor and pressed it against Hancock's chest.
Hancock looked down, then up, then down again to see that he hadn't penetrated her like before...
"Hancock, he discovered that the devil fruit in your body has 'disappeared'!" Robin hurriedly explained when she saw that Hancock seemed to think that Lynch was deliberately playing with her.
"Ah?" Hancock came back to his senses. "Is that so?"
No wonder they asked if they could still use Medusa's powers... Hancock wondered, "But my Medusa power didn't disappear!"
"Now this is the fun part," Lynch said. "Come on, go to the bathroom and try it. You may not be afraid of water anymore."
